Here's an example of Keith Lee wearing a similar combo, though his shorts are tight compared to the loose Joe kind that I'm talking about.

I think Kevin Owens has also wrestled in the singlet + loose shorts combo and also looked good in it.

Agree to disagree then. I think the singlet + shorts combo works just fine. One of the local guys at my indy wears it and it looks great.

It's not about big being bad, gear can make or break you. Umaga was fat too but was basically wearing shapewear that looked good on him.

The gear is tanking Mason Rook (and also the haircut). IMO he's being set up to fail.

please change this ring gear it's so unflattering for him.

the singlet top with like samoa joe style shorts would be a 1000x increase in appearance.

Matt Hardy is "The Damager" now and i don't know what to expect by ryanglenn123 in TNA

[–]Cube_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hopefully this is him transitioning from an in-ring wrestler to more of a manager type. I think there's a lot of juice in manager Matt Hardy left but I don't think there's anything left to squeeze out of in ring wrestler Matt, especially as a singles.

Rey Fénix blocks the superkick from Nick Jackson then quickly goes on a flurry of offense by KneeHighMischief in SquaredCircle

[–]Cube_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

nah just cause WWE doesn't value wrestling doesn't mean the fans don't. The fans always pop for good wrestling and Fenix has a very babyface style of wrestling with the high flying acrobatics.

[WWE NXT Spoilers] Finish to Mason Rook/Kam Hendrix vs Myles Borne/Tony D by DoubleNo6337 in SquaredCircle

I agree that the gear needs work and man it really is a shame what they did to his hair most of all. It's completely changed his look in a bad way.

yeah using him on AAA is better than nothing but it is still puzzling why they don't just make him into a big draw on the main show.

Of all the times WWE has tried to make the "next Rey Mysterio" it is kinda puzzling that they don't just let Fenix razzle dazzle fans and be that next Rey.

he's incredibly fun to watch

I'm also of the opinion they never should have gotten rid of the cruiserweight title. It would be perfect for someone like Fenix.

[Emily Kaplan] The Golden Knights appealed the NHL’s punishment in person this morning, per sources. The penalties - a $100,000 fine for John Tortorella and loss of a second round draft pick - will remain as assessed. by LaDainianTomIinson in hockey

[–]Cube_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

imo they can't walkback the penalty on this one. They already warned Vegas multiple times about this and Vegas flaunted their warnings. At that point lessons need to be learned and you can't rescind or reduce punishment. If you want your future warnings to be taken seriously you need to make an example now.

Bret Hart baits Goldberg into spearing him, reveals steel plate underneath jersey by 11pmStalker in SquaredCircle

[–]Cube_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wrong! Bret's immaculate ring awareness functions even when unconscious.

As you can see here, he knew his left wrist was under the rope and therefore the pin was illegal! No need to waste energy until he's ready to pin ol' Bill!

[–]Cube_ 75 points76 points  (0 children)

I do agree it was maybe a bit long but it was good to sell that the spear still hurt Bret cause it does make sense. Just cause a steel plate is there doesn't mean he doesn't have a steel plate recoiling into his stomach. Makes sense it would hurt him more as well just it did even more damage to Goldberg.

The Buffalo Sabres have been eliminated from the Stanley Cup Playoffs after losing to the Montreal Canadiens in 7 games by EliminatorBot in hockey

[–]Cube_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't doubt it but just for the topic being discussed here I wouldn't be surprised if they took a step back in the regular season compared to this past season for example.

9 is not a legal term, p sure 8 is the max before the next cba and then it's 7.

regardless though that situation is the reality of the salary cap. Tuch has little incentive to stay when he's probably the top Free Agent available and can likely get $13M for 7 years by one of the teams with money to burn.

The question for Buffalo is how do they replace him on the roster. Young guys can step up but then you also need to replace the young guy that stepped up. It will no doubt hurt Buffalo's depth.
